Ericsson doubles-down on IoT

Last year the number of devices managed on Ericsson’s IoT Accelerator platform doubled to more than 70 million, including more than 8 million eSIM devices, according to Ericsson’s Warren Chaisatien, global director of IoT Customer Success Marketing.

In a Q&A with Fierce, Chaisatien said IoT absolutely continues to be a key strategic growth area for the Swedish vendor, even if it may not be the most visible part of the business.

Ericsson now serves more than 6,500 enterprises through its network of 35-plus CSP partners globally, which include the likes of Orange, Telstra, and others.
